Alleged AMD Ryzen 7 9800X3D Announcement and Availability Dates Revealed
AMD is allegedly announcing its Ryzen 7 9800X3D processor on October 25, with availability in the first week of November 2024. This according to leaky taps among Chinese tech forums with a track record of getting such details right. We've been hearing about an October launch of the 9800X3D in late-September, which puts the announcement just a month after the 9800X3D's early launch first hit the radar. We've since seen a couple of performance or specs leaks, such as this one, which talks about a significant increase in clock speeds over past generations of X3D processors, this one which points to its Cinebench scores, and this one, which confirms a 5.20 GHz all-core boost frequency. Perhaps the biggest leak of them all, which is quasi-official, as it comes from a major PC hardware manufacturer, is this one, with some performance testing. When you cross-reference these numbers with Intel's first party gaming performance claims for its upcoming Core Ultra 9 285K "Arrow Lake-S" processor, you get the hint that AMD is set to win this round for gaming performance.

Paperlaunching your new CPU on Oct., 22nd with a live press event where all the journalists and influencers get their hand-signed golden press samples without review embargo, would be the thing I'd like to see. This would be so hilarious to see Gamer Jesus and his YouTuber friends fall all over each other to get some comparisons with the 9800X3D into their Core 200K launch reviews. :rockout:
Although, I'd guess that the AMD pricing will also be quite hilarious if the non-X3D parts are an indicator... Do we start at as little as $550 or maybe even at $600?
If ALL 9000 CPU's launched at a lower price than the first four 7000 models, why would new 3D models go up?
AMD is in a position to offer the politically correct best gaming performance CPU on the market and my bet is that they are going to bank on it.
AMD's pricing strategy is to keep their lips sealed under very close to launch. More often than not reviewers don't even have the product's final pricing until 24-72 hours before that very product becomes available. That's how tight AMD is making price assessments to their products. I assume they want to properly gauge 285K's gaming value before setting a price as high as they can.
The same goes for all models really. The 7600 non-X is 200$ and the 9600x is 280$ again for a 0-10% difference in performance. The 7900 non-X is 370$ the 9900x is 450$.
Try to keep up instead of changing the subject and then calling me a liar lol.Sure, but it won't be $550, that's hilarious.
I replied to the comment "AMD pricing will also be quite hilarious if the non-X3D parts are an indicator" when in fact launch prices has come down... the opposite of what was suggested.
$550 - 600 is just bananas tho. Where would that put the 16 core? $900? No way. Prices will probably be close to last time.
I know it is not the 9950X3D yet.
As I understand the original is better when you use 100% CPU on 16+threads.
Stop changing subject and kicking in open doors. We all know what Zen5 is (not) capable of, we've seen the reviews over and over again lol
Here's a thread with all the complaints for you. I've posted my fair share there

Even if the MSRP/ESRP is palatable, scalpers and demand/supply will make it a luxury item this holiday season.
